Kansanshi Dynamos FC return to action this weekend as they prepare to host Green Buffaloes FC in a crucial Week 31 fixture of the MTN Super League.
The Mabanga Boys head into this encounter full of confidence following an impressive 3-0 away victory over FC MUZA, a result that showcased both attacking efficiency and defensive discipline. With momentum on their side, Kansanshi will be eager to build on that performance and maintain a winning run.
This fixture carries significant weight in the standings. Kansanshi Dynamos currently sit just three points behind Green Buffaloes, and a victory would see them leapfrog their opponents on the log, thanks to a superior goal difference. More importantly, maximum points would be a vital step in the club’s push to move further away from the relegation zone.
When the two sides last met earlier this season in Lusaka, the match ended in a 1-1 draw, highlighting just how closely matched these teams are.
COACH’S CORNER
Assistant Coach Dennis Makinka shared his thoughts ahead of the game in an interview with KDFC Media:
“It’s not an easy game, but we are preparing for maximum points, especially playing at home. We are also looking at where we are on the log, and we want to move further away from the relegation zone.”
On squad management and fatigue following the last fixture:
“We have enough players. In the last game, we used a number of players and made substitutions to rest some. We knew we had another game coming, so we tried to manage that.”
On team news:
“We currently have no major injuries. Kelvin Kapumbu had a knock in the last match, and we are still monitoring him.”
